Albertz 78 918 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Never seen this subject being discussed at all by the mHedia or sporting integrity brigade which is strange but they went down the exact same road as Rangers did but faced no sporting sanctions at all back in 1991.https://www.duedil.c...investments-plcEdinburgh Hibernian plc (latterly Forth Investments plc) went into liquidation in 1991. Tom Farmer then bought the club and assets from the receiver and the club continued like nothing had happend.No fines from the SFA, No relegation etc.Who says it's one rule for Rangers and another for everyone else????

mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Not 100% sure this was their actual primary company mate.It only started up in 1988, so they would have to have newco'd in 1988 as well.This was likely to be a holding company IMO.

They went bust in 1891 and reformed as a completely different club in 1892. They still show the Scottish cup in 1887 in their current honours despite dying as a club in 1891 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
